is it possible via rdf query but it wont be as nice or as efficient as a 
dedicated method call

SOme other things might need some jumping into hoops EG to get a list of 
all unique albums you would get all album names via RDF Query and then 
sort them out locally into a unique list.

The idea is to have a separate dbus interface for each first class 
object that provides convenience methods (and better optimizations too)
